Before I reinvent the wheel...

I would like to be able to store snapshots of individual files without 
making a commit on the main branch.  The scenario is that I've written 
some experimental code that I have decided not to keep as part of the 
main project, but which I might want to refer back to some day.  Is 
there any easy way of doing that in git?

Thanks,
rg
